History & Genealogy

Introduction

Welcome to The COKidGenweb!

By Mary Ann Hetrick

I am your host for the COKidsGenWeb Project, my name is Mary Ann Hetrick.
I hope to make your visit here a fun and informative one. Enjoy :)

This page is dedicated mainly to helping you learn about Genealogy. It will
hope it will also give you some insight into History as well. I am providing a page of how to's
for beginners, an intermediate page for the next step in genealogy, and an advanced
information locating help page. So no matter what
your level of genealogy experience you will benefit from this page.

I have also provided you with some extra helpful links for doing related
homework. You can use these to give you skills to do research in all
fields of School work. There is also a page for you
to connect with other Schools on line in Colorado, so you can do joint projects
with them. I even have a Message board and a link to a Teen mailing list, so you can work together
with others, and a Teachers Page to help give ideas for lesson plans.

Please let me know If you find any problems with the links on this site or if
you have an
idea for this page. You can email

to move in. Completion of the Capitol may be said to have been achieved in 1908 when
the dome was leafed with gold and the electric bulb was installed on top of it.Read more…
